Hardy has established herself as one of the most productive offensive players in the country. Her movement immediately jumps out; she plays with constant energy and momentum and has the quickness and deception to break through double and even triple teams. Hardy’s jump shot is extremely difficult for goalies to read, and she has the ability to finish from virtually anywhere around the cage. Her stick protection allows her to weave through defenders. In transition, Hardy glides through the 30s and makes high-speed movement look effortless. With her footwork, speed, dodging ability, and scoring production, she is a major offensive middie to watch.

Hardy out of Illinois is a good two-way midfielder. She gets out quickly adjacent to defend and plays good 1v1 defense. Hardy is a good initial dodger to kickstart an offense; she can get downhill. She can split through a double. Her stick skills are good. On defense, she flies around. Towards the end of the game, she checked a player’s stick so hard her own stick broke. A good, solid player.
